Definitions
- This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a resource configuration method and apparatus.
- a control channel includes two types: a physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) and an enhanced physical downlink control channel (Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel, EPDCCH).
- PDCCH Physical Downlink Control Channel
- EPDCCH Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel
- a time-frequency resource region of the PDCCH is located in first 0 to 3 orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) symbols of a subframe, and a time-frequency resource region of the EPDCCH occupies all downlink OFDM symbols in the subframe except those for the PDCCH.
- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
- a time-frequency region of the PDCCH occupies an entire system bandwidth
- a time-frequency region of the EPDCCH occupies a frequency-domain width of at least one physical resource block (Physical Resource Block, PRB) in frequency domain.
- PRB Physical Resource Block
- a size of a time-frequency resource of a PDCCH is indicated by indication information carried in a physical control format indicator channel (Physical Control Format Indicator Channel, PCFICH) channel and system broadcast information carried in a PBCH channel, and the PCFICH channel carries two bits of indication information used to indicate only a quantity of OFDM symbols occupied in time domain by the time-frequency resource region of the PDCCH, and there are usually 0 to 3 OFDM symbols.
- a frequency-domain size of the time-frequency resource of the PDCCH is indirectly indicated by system broadcast information carried in a physical broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel, PBCH).
- indication information that indicates the system bandwidth size and that is carried in the PBCH channel may be used to indirectly indicate the frequency-domain size of the region of the PDCCH.
- the system bandwidth size includes ⁇ 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz ⁇ , and a master information block (master information block, MIB) includes 3-bit information used to indicate the system bandwidth size; and the frequency-domain size of the PDCCH may also be obtained based on the 3-bit information.
- a size of a frequency-domain resource of an EPDCCH is indicated by using higher-layer signaling (for example, RRC signaling).
- the higher-layer signaling indicates a subframe of the EPDCCH and a frequency-domain location of a PRB occupied by the EPDCCH.
- the PRB may occupy a series of consecutive frequency-domain resources, or may occupy a plurality of inconsecutive PBR resource blocks in frequency domain.
- the time-domain subframe of the EPDCCH is a subframe predefined in the standard (for example, a subframe for a non-multicast channel or a non-special subframe under some radio frame configurations), and a quantity of OFDM symbols occupied in time domain by the EPDCCH also needs to be adjusted based on received indication information of a PCFICH channel, that is, the time domain resource occupied by the EPDCCH is orthogonal to a time-frequency resource of the PDCCH.
- a time-frequency resource of a control channel may use one or more of the plurality of subcarrier widths, and the subcarrier widths may be predefined or preconfigured.
- a time-domain location of the control channel is unchanged, but a subcarrier width used for the control channel changes, for example, from 15 kHz to 30 kHz, a quantity of OFDM symbols included in a region for the control channel increases; if a PCFICH is used, a maximum quantity of OFDM symbols that is indicated by the PCFICH is less than a quantity of OFDM symbols that can be used by the system currently; consequently, a terminal cannot identify the frequency-domain region for the control channel except the three OFDM symbols indicated. Therefore, how the terminal determines the time-frequency resource occupied by the control channel becomes a problem to be resolved urgently.
- WO 2016/00463 A1 relates to methods in UE and eNB for transmitting a waveform for wireless communication networks.
- the document disclosed a method for a UE to transmit an uplink channel carrying data or control information bits to an eNB, the method comprising: receiving an OFDM-based downlink channel occupying a set of downlink resource elements, where each downlink resource element has a downlink subcarrier spacing in the frequency domain and a downlink symbol duration in the time domain; generating a SC-FDMA based uplink channel from the information bits, where the uplink channel occupies a set of uplink resource elements and each uplink resource element has an uplink subcarrier spacing in the frequency domain differing from the downlink subcarrier spacing, and a uplink symbol duration in the time domain differing from the downlink symbol duration; and transmitting the SC-FDMA based uplink channel.
- the information bits are uplink data information bits
- the information bits are uplink control information bits.
- the document by Ericsson, titled “Summary of e-mail discussions on downlink control signalling", 3GPP® Draft, R1-1612908, 13 November 2016 provides a summary of an email discussion on L1/L2 downlink control channel signalling.

- the subcarrier width used for the first control channel is a subcarrier width used to send the first control channel.
- duration of each symbol occupied by the first control channel is shortened; however, a total quantity of time-frequency resources occupied by the first control channel maintains unchanged.
- symbols occupied by the first control channel sent in a slot are a plurality of symbols starting from an initial symbol (including the initial symbol) in the slot.
- the first control channel sent in a slot n occupies three symbols; in this case, the symbols occupied by the first control channel are first three symbols in the slot n.
- the first control channel includes but is not limited to a channel such as a PDCCH or an EPDCCH.
- the maximum quantity of symbols occupied by the first control channel is a maximum quantity of symbols that can be used within a time-frequency resource of the first control channel.
- the duration of each symbol occupied by the first control channel is shortened; therefore, if a maximum time occupied by the first control channel in time domain is fixed, the maximum quantity of symbols increases with the increase of the subcarrier width used for the first control channel.
- a time-frequency resource in each slot usually includes a control region and a data region.
- the control region is used to send control information
- the data region is used to send data.

- a time-frequency resource for the downlink control channel includes at least one OFDM symbol of initial OFDM symbols of a slot or a subframe.
- the search space is a part of the time-frequency resource for the downlink control channel.
- Control information in the common search space may be received by a group of terminals or all terminals in a cell.
- the access network device sends the indication information to the terminal by using physical layer broadcast control signaling, for example, similar to broadcast signaling carried in a PCFICH channel in LTE; or a time-frequency resource occupied by the physical layer broadcast control signaling includes at least one OFDM symbol of initial OFDM symbols of a slot or a subframe, and the physical layer broadcast control signaling may be detected and received by a group of terminals or all terminals in a cell.
- physical layer broadcast control signaling for example, similar to broadcast signaling carried in a PCFICH channel in LTE; or a time-frequency resource occupied by the physical layer broadcast control signaling includes at least one OFDM symbol of initial OFDM symbols of a slot or a subframe, and the physical layer broadcast control signaling may be detected and received by a group of terminals or all terminals in a cell.
- the access network device may alternatively send the indication information in other manners. Examples are not described one by one herein.
- Step 103 The terminal receives the indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate the subcarrier width used for the first control channel.
- Step 104 The terminal determines, based on the indication information, a quantity of symbols occupied by the first control channel, where the quantity of symbols occupied by the first control channel is less than or equal to the maximum quantity of symbols.
- the first control channel may occupy a maximum of four symbols, but the first control channel may actually use two symbols; in this case, the quantity of symbols used for the first control channel is less than the maximum quantity of symbols.
- the time domain resource region of the first control channel may be predefined between the access network device and the terminal, or may be indicated by the access network device to the terminal by using system information, higher-layer signaling, or initial access information.
- the system information may be most essential system information used for initial access, for example, a master information block (Master information Block, MIB) in LTE, or is referred to as an essential system information block (Essential System Information Block, eSIB), a system information block (System Information Block, SIB), or the like in a next generation system.
- the initial access information may include a random access response (Random Access Response, RAR), a Message4, or the like.
- the Message4 may be an RRC establishment or re-establishment command sent by the access network device to the terminal in LTE.
- the access network device may indicate, to the terminal by using the RAR, the time domain resource region of the first control channel.
- the RAR includes at least uplink timing advance (Timing Advance, TA) indication information.
- the access network device may alternatively indicate, to the terminal by using the Message4, the time domain resource region of the first control channel.
- the Message4 may be an RRC establishment or re-establishment command sent by the access network device to the terminal in LTE.
- the Message4 includes at least terminal identification indication information.
- an area of the time-frequency resource occupied by the first control channel maintains unchanged, that is, a product of duration, in time domain, of the time-frequency resource occupied by the first control channel and a bandwidth width of the time-frequency resource in frequency domain maintains unchanged.
- a time domain resource is expressed in a quantity of OFDM symbols, and a bandwidth width is in a unit of kHz.
- the subcarrier width includes a first subcarrier width and a second subcarrier width
- the maximum quantity of symbols occupied by the first control channel includes a first maximum symbol quantity and a second maximum symbol quantity
- a ratio of the first maximum symbol quantity to the second maximum symbol quantity is equal to a ratio of the first subcarrier width to the second subcarrier width
- the first subcarrier width is different from the second subcarrier width.
- the first maximum symbol quantity corresponds to the first subcarrier width
- the second maximum symbol quantity corresponds to the second subcarrier width.
- FIG. 2 to (c) in FIG. 2 are schematic diagrams of a time-frequency resource according to an embodiment of this application.
- the first control channel occupies different quantity of symbols.
- a subcarrier width of 15 kHz is used for the first control channel, and the first control channel occupies one symbol; it is assumed that the one symbol is the first maximum symbol quantity, and 15 kHz is the first subcarrier width.
- a subcarrier width of 30 kHz is used for the first control channel, and the first control channel occupies two symbols; it is assumed that the two symbols are the second maximum symbol quantity, and 30 kHz is the second subcarrier width. Based on the foregoing assumptions, a ratio of the first maximum symbol quantity to the second maximum symbol quantity is 1/2, and a ratio of the first subcarrier width to the second subcarrier width is also 1/2.
- a subcarrier width of 60 kHz is used for the first control channel, and the first control channel occupies four symbols.
- the subcarrier width in (c) in FIG. 2 is set as the first or second subcarrier width, and the symbol quantity is set as the first or second maximum symbol quantity; this also complies with the rule in (a) in FIG. 2 or (b) in FIG. 2 , that is, a ratio of the first maximum symbol quantity to the second maximum symbol quantity is equal to a ratio of the first subcarrier width to the second subcarrier width.
- the terminal may determine a maximum quantity of symbols mapped with the subcarrier width used in each time-frequency resource, to determine a maximum quantity of symbols included in each time-frequency resource.
- the access network device may use all resources in the time domain resource region of the first control channel to send the first control channel.
- the terminal may first determine, based on the indication information, the subcarrier width used for the first control channel; then determine, based on the subcarrier width, a maximum quantity of symbols included in the time domain resource region; and finally determine the maximum quantity of symbols included in the time domain resource region as the quantity of symbols occupied by the first control channel.
- the access network device may alternatively not use all resources in the time domain resource region of the first control channel to send the first control channel; therefore, the quantity of symbols occupied by the first control channel is less than or equal to the maximum quantity of symbols included in the time domain resource region of the first control channel.
